Care and Support 

At First United Methodist Church, service is a key part of how we live our mission statement: Embracing, equipping, and empowering persons to evangelize.

Jesus commissioned the disciples in Acts 1:8, “…and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” As this applies to First Church, we have missions locally, regionally and internationally. There are many opportunities to serve both inside the church building, within our community and throughout the world. Check out the ways you can serve Jesus, show His love to others and use your talents and passions for His glory.

If you find a ministry that seems to fit your gifts or you are looking for support through one of our ministries, simply call the church office at 419-238-0631 or email Teresa Shaffer, Director of Outreach at teresa.shaffer@vanwertfirst.net.
